scipy installation in windows 10 using pip

Question

From the past two days, I've been trying to install scipy from the wheel file available from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy in my windows laptop 64 bit built and running Python 2.7.3. I tried running pip install scipy in the command window, it didn't work and the following error popped up in command prompt

and

I also tried typing

pip install scipy-version.whl

That didn't work too! and the same error popped up. I even updated my pip.

I read in some comments that pip doesn't work well for scipy installation. If so, what alternatives can you suggest? If not can you tell me the way to install using wheel scripts?

updated pip already, but still sticking with Python2.7, does it make any difference ? is scipy not meant for Py2.7 ? — Bhanu Chander, Mar 13 '17 at 17:42
You're running 2.7.3, while 2.7.10 is somehow involved in your error message. — leewz, Mar 19 '17 at 19:33

There are some issue while installing scipy using pip, please try using Anaconda python version which comes with all the libraries you can ever need instead of your default python.

Still if you want to use the default python refer here, as already answered here.

All the methods that was given in the second link didn't work either. I'm going for Anaconda, still if someone finds a way to solve this, it would be great and help many. – Bhanu Chander Mar 07 '17 at 07:03
I know there are issues installing it with `pip install scipy`, but Christoph Gohlke's wheel should work. – leewz Mar 12 '17 at 21:33
